1. Does that mean we need to Neutralize him?
Or does he just get the water treatment? The full body shower???

2. Obama is looking like a wilting flower. I mean seriously the
inability to explain to the people that if the bailout does not go through all hell will break loose. Unfortunately, the republicans and McCain are looking like champions of the people and Obama looks like a mute sideshow.

4. I disagree. He is looking and acting more presidential than bush's entire cabinet.
All hell will not break loose without this bailout anymore than Saddam was going to nuke Cleveland without the invasion.

5. whatever.
The pukes are eating each other. The Dems had reached a deal with the puke sin the House and Senate. Then, half the pukes revolted at the last minute.
They come of looking petulant, Obama looks rational. This isn't mcPOW or Obama's mess to fix.

6. Wrong. We've been had.
McCain will side with those against the bailout and solidify the center. The Paulson Plan is extremely unpopular with the voters. Now, even if something is passed, the perception is that McCain tried to stop it while the Democrats went along. I believe the sole purpose of the meeting yesterday was to distance McCain from Bush and show him to be an people's advocate.

7. McCain has proposed no alternative.
He can't on one day suspend the rotation of the earth, oppose a plan the second day, and then say he was right all along on the third day without offering a solution himself. He is showing himself to be an ineffective alarmist.

9. But the "deal" wasn't going to be the Paulson Plan without modifications
People keep acting like the Dems were going to pass teh Paulson Plan "as-is."

10. I think you will find attitudes changing...
...as big banks keep failing. Especially banks like WaMu, banks that normal people actually use, where a lot of people will be thinking "D00d WTF my mortgage/checking account/savings account!"
